What’s great about the BlackBerry Storm 9500 (and to an extent the T-Mobile G1) is that it’s not an “iClone.” Although it sports a large touchscreen display, and it’s clearly RIM’s answer to the iPhone ... read more at Macworld

The Palm Treo 700p, which includes features introduced in the 700w but which runs on the familiar and easy-to-use Palm OS, seeks to offer something for everyone. As a PDA, the 700p is designed to appeal to both consumers and business users, with e-mail and Microsoft Office functionality, a 1.3-megapixel digital camera that shoots better-than-average cell phone pictures, and MP3 music playing software that, when you add a high-capacity SD memory card, might make you reconsider buying an iPod shuffle ... read more at Macworld

Grab this handheld; it's quite possibly the best Palm ever. The Palm TX handheld is already a good deal at $300 considering it comes with Bluetooth, 128MB of internal memory, an MMC/SD expansion slot and sports the same colorful, 320x480-pixel screen as the top-of-the-line Tungsten T5 ... read more at macHOME

The ROKR meets the basic goal that Motorola set for it—it’s currently the only phone on the planet that runs a genuine iTunes music player and plays copy-protected tracks bought from the iTunes Music Store. But the devil’s in the details, and those details include a ho-hum feature set and a few glaring flaws. After putting the phone through its paces, we think that a better name might be LOSR ... read more at MacAddict

THE PERSONAL digital assistant has been around long enough that many of us have had one, if not several. However, there are still tons of people who have yet to dive in and try this easy-to-use, timesaving technology. That's where a basic and affordable PDA such as the Palm Z22 fits in well ... read more at macHOME

Precision is what this 1,600 dpi mouse is all about. With its ultra-sensitive laser resolution, it responds acutely to the slightest movement on nearly any surface. The mouse is plug-and-play in OS X, but you'll only get the left and right buttons and the scroll wheel; the driver to configure the three other buttons is PC-only ... read more at macHOME

This is hands-down one of our favorite keyboards ever, due to its many dedicated function buttons and very comfortable form and keyboard action. Its only significant drawback is the absence of a USB port for your mouse. The keyboard's curved design makes for relaxing typing, and it can be elevated off the desktop if you like ... read more at macHOME

The problem the Intuos3 A5 Wide is designed to solve has come about thanks to the increasing use of screens that conform not to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, but to the more cinematic 16:10 format. This is particularly true for us Mac users - Apple has been steadily moving all its computers and standalone displays over to this format, and now only the iBooks and 12in PowerBook currently retain the 4:3 ratio ... read more at MacUserUK

It's two years since Fossil first announced its intention to produce a Palm PDA in a wrist watch. And, finally, under new Fossil brand Abacus, here it is.The first thing you notice about the wrist PDA is that it's big. However, it's not so huge that it looks ridiculous. And given the fashion for slightly oversized, chunky watches, you can just about get away with it without eliciting strange looks from passers-by or sniggers from colleagues ... read more at MacUserUK

You don't need to know anything about the NetPhone KE1020A. Not how it works, as it's no different to a regular phone. Not how you set it up, because you just plug it in and go. Not how much it costs to run, as your first batch of calls are thrown in for free ... read more at MacUserUK

As a child, you could barely contain your excitement when you saw presents under the Christmas tree. They were so pregnant with potential, so full of promise.

Continuing the Graphire tradition, Wacom has released the latest version of its popular pressure-sensitive pen and tablet line, the Graphire 4 Studio XL.

YOU'VE HEARD the hype. (If you haven't, see pages 12-13 for some hype!) The real deal on Apple's multi-button Mighty Mouse is that it's innovative, cleverly designed, programmable, a pleasure to use and it's named after one of the top five cartoon mice. But it's still just a mouse ... read more at macHOME

WE'RE OFTEN WARY of wireless input devices. Cord-free use frequently complicates a product with concerns such as: do you need non-rechargeable batteries, how reliable is the wireless connection and does the device function just as well as one with a cord? Our doubts were in vain with the Graphire Bluetooth, a fully-featured drawing tablet of near-flawless operation ... read more at macHOME

Nyko’s Air Flo EX gamepad works as tough as it looks.

We've waited a long time for a graphics tablet that connects wirelessly, but Wacom has finally produced this, the A5 Graphire Bluetooth. Your Mac will, predictably, have to be Bluetooth-enabled to be able to link to the tablet, but it doesn't make a difference whether the Bluetooth is built-in or added using a USB dongle ... read more at MacUserUK
